Many years ago I remember singing a hymn in church that talked about walking in the Light of God. Perhaps you know the one I referring to. Never in our lives has it been more important for us to do so!

Today each of us will be in the struggle of our lives and many of us may not even be aware of it!

For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens. That is why you must take up all God's Armour, or you will not be able to put up any resistance on the evil day, or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the full.
{Ephesians 6:12 – 6:13 NJB}
25 years or so ago I challenged Satan to a duel after all I was up to the task, or so I thought! He nearly destroyed my life and my home and it took almost 5 years to recover and I discovered first hand that Satan’s power in THIS world is matchless. Yet in the aftermath I discovered just like darkness is no match in room filled with light Satan is no match for a life filled with the Power and Light of God!
As the struggle for your soul continues today I urge you to follow the advice of one who knows, Paul an Apostle of Jesus Christ - - - Stand your ground (God is with you), with truth a belt round your waist (God loves you), and uprightness a breastplate (through Jesus God forgives you), wearing for shoes on your feet the eagerness to spread the gospel of peace (move into the process of living for God) and always carrying the shield of faith (God’s power is limitless) so that you can use it to quench the burning arrows of the Evil One. And then you must take salvation as your helmet and the sword of the Spirit, that is, the word of God.
{Ephesians 6:14 – 6:17 NJB}
